number and type of roadway users impacted. This could also include a qualitative description of <br />who uses the facility and how they will benefit from the project, and how multiple local agencies <br />may benefit. <br />3. Economic Development. Describe the project contribution to the local, regional or state <br />economy, and economic development or redevelopment efforts. Be specific and reference <br />plans, letters of support, business impacts, and/or community impacts that this project would <br />have in the region. <br />D3. Rural Road Safety Account Considerations and Eligibility <br />1. Is this project on a County State Aid Highway? The project must be on a County State Aid <br />Highway to be eligible for funding under this account. <br />2. Is this project or components of this project identified in a County Road Safety Plan (CRSP)? All <br />counties have completed CRSPs that identify priority safety projects through a data driven <br />process. These projects on rural County State Aid Highways may be eligible under the Rural <br />Road Safety Account. Use the drop -down box to select yes or no. If yes, provide a brief <br />description of the elements of the project that are included in the CRSP. <br />3. Minnesota Strategic Highway Safety Plan. This is an effort to align local safety projects with <br />safety priorities identified in the Minnesota Strategic Highway Safety Plan. The plan was <br />completed with a thorough analysis of statewide crash data and trends affecting transporting <br />with various stakeholders. It identified several primary focus areas to help establish safety <br />priorities. Three of the focus areas, intersections, speed, and lane departure include <br />engineering strategies for partners to consider when championing safety projects. Use the <br />drop -down box to select a focus area that your project or safety components of your project <br />align with. The three choices are: <br />• Intersections <br />Select if your projects makes improvement to an intersection for approaches to an <br />intersection. Sample engineering strategies from this focus area include: improve <br />visibility of signs/signals, pedestrian countdown timers, clear sight triangle on stop or <br />yield controlled approaches, reduced conflict intersections, or roundabouts. See the full <br />list of strategies from plans and partners in the Minnesota Strategic Highway Safety <br />Plan. <br />• Speeding (over posted speed, too fast for conditions) <br />Select this choice if your project or components of your projects will look to address <br />speeding. Sample engineering strategies from this focus area includes: dynamic speed <br />display signs, automated speed enforcement, or traffic calming measures. See the full <br />list from plans and partners in the Minnesota Strategic Highway Safety Plan. <br />• Lane departures (run -of -road, head-on, sideswipes) <br />Select this choice if your project will make improvements to address lane departure <br />crashes or minimize damage associated with these crashes. Sample strategies from <br />focus area include: curve speed warning systems, shoulder/centerline rumble strips, <br />improve horizontal curves, guardrails, or remove/relocate objects in the hazardous <br />locations. See the full list from plans and partners in the Minnesota Strategic Highway <br />Safety Plan. <br />http://www.dot.state.mn.us/stateaid/Irip.html 9 <br />
